Although there can be several reasons for the slowdown of your QB software, one of the most prominent reasons is keeping the QB live community open. The live community is located on the right side of the QuickBooks file and keeping it always open can cause slowness and even freezing of your software. If you open your QuickBooks hosting and see the live community open then close it, uncheck the Open live community box and don’t forget to check the do not ask this again. After following this procedure, the live community will not open by itself and thus it will not slowdown your computer.

2. A good internet speed

With the help of QuickBooks, you are able to access the data from anywhere and at any point of time and since all the data and the software is stored on the cloud which is accessed through internet, a slow internet connection can really hamper the performance of QuickBooks hosting and can cause it to freeze. That’s why you should have a good internet speed. You don’t even need to have a lightning fast speed for accessing the company file smoothly because QB has been designed in such a way that even in cloud, it can work seamlessly with an average internet speed.

3.Remove SmartVault if you are not using

If you don’t have any SmartVault account and still seeing the green login box at the bottom of the screen of your QuickBooks hosting then it can also be one of the most prominent reasons for freezing your software or making it slow. But this situation is only when you are not using the SmartVault.

You can easily remove SmartVault from your software by segregating it with QuickBooks hosting. For doing so, click on Edit>Preference> Integrated applications and then remove the check mark beside SmartVault.
